I want to show you a fun little Thanksgiving gift I plan to give to our pastor at church tomorrow. something quick and easy and sure to please because it's food! grins!

Last night I made several loaves of banana nut bread. it's a great recipe because there is no sugar added, but also none of the sugar substitutes either - just all natural ingredients. it's so yummy that it doesn't last long around my house. I thought it would make a special treat for our pastor and his wife as a way of saying thank you for all that they do for our church community throughout the year.

the white jute twine was the perfect thing to wrap around the loaf for a bit of decoration. easy peasy to make a fun bow with, too! as I've said before, if this twine ever goes out of stock in the Paper Temptress store, you can be sure I had something to do with it! tee hee! I added some sticks, feathers, and a leaf to the bow for a touch of autumn.

it was fun to create a little card to go along with the bread. I used the Desert Storm Kraft cs as a base for the leaf template by Shape EZ. it was lightly embossed, edges were inked, and then distress stickles were added for a touch of sparkle. a cute turkey digi image from QKR Stampede was added along with vintage button, sticks from the yard, little rose from Wild Orchid Crafts, and 1/8" wine satin ribbon with gold gold edges made into a fluffy bow. All set for gift giving! :)

thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! :)

What a lovely gesture and gift! Saying thank you to someone, so often goes unspoken. But when you do say thank you, the person that ends up feeling the most rewarded is the person saying it. I bet you will feel amazing once you had this gorgeous banana loaf and card off to your pastor. And I am sure they will enjoy every bite! Looks beautiful. You have decorated this up so beautifully that it just screams Autumn. The card is so cute and love that turkey image. Happy Thanksgiving to you! Thanks for playing in our Funday Friday challenge this week! Hugs,Jo♥ Jo's Scrap Shack ♥

YUMMY! Sure wish I was on the receiving end of this care package! I love banana bread. The card you made with it is so adorable. Thanks so much for participating in our ATG week at Brown Sugar Challenges.

What a fun thing to do for your pastor! You are so thoughtful! I need to do something like this! Love your idea and it came out wonderful. Thanks for sharing this with us in the DRS Designs CHallenge. Hugz
